The Supreme Court of Washington
Territory has recently decided that the
female suffrage act, adopted in 1885, is
unconstitutional. This is severe disap-
point to the friends of woman suf-
trage, who have been in the habit of point
ing to the working of the system in that
Territory as a good illustration OF its effi-
cheney. But this decision OF the Supreme
Court will not disturb the equanimity of a
majority of the women OF the territory
for only about a third have sought to e1er-
else the right of suffrage.
